The technology tree is much more expansive and balanced. In addition storage space has been removed, so you now longer have to worry about running out of space, and can focus solely on mass producing stuff for your troops. It's a good improvement, one which cut's down on micromanagement, as your other bases will be for interception purposes only. While you can still have multiple bases, and should, only one houses your scientists, and engineers. For one, you only have on primary base now. It's practically the same, but there's some solid improvements. As you captured live aliens you would work your way towards the alien's final base, before the final mission. There were other missions as well such as terror sites, where you had to defend civilians, and alien bases, where you had to weaken an alien's hold on an area. After building your first base, you'll primarily focus on intercepting UFO's and then searching their crash sites. For those unfamiliar with X-Com's formula I'll briefly touch on it here.
Story and setting aside, the game is divided between Strategic and Tactical modes. You do start to wonder why you're fighting for this planet anyway. Map design doesn't help much either, with the majority of combat locales including golf courses and caves. While X-Com took place on Earth, UFO:ET takes place on a fictional planet, which by itself is noticeably less relatable. The story also showcase another problem the setting. While the actual endgame is pretty well done, the story in between is lacking. Just as in X-Com, you'll eventually advance the plot in order to discover where the aliens are coming from, and stop them.
To combat this threat all the nations of Esperanza form the CAF (Counter Alien Force) to protect the planet. Fighters are dispatched to confirm their fears the aliens have come. Even more alarming is the fact that a wormhole has opened in the same solar system as Esperanza. They lived peaceably for a few years before news of Earth's fall reached them. As Earth was being attacked a group of "pilgrims" set off to colonize a distant planet in another star system, believing it to be the next best hope for mankind.

There is a little story, but you'll have to dig through the manual to find it. It also has no official relation to X-Com)

(Quick Note: UFO:ET is unrelated to the UFO Trilogy and the free UFO Alien Invasion. But by 2007 (Original Release) and 2010 (Gold Release), you may've expected some of X-Com's aging issues to have been fixed at least. In addition there's some solid improvements which help cut down on micromanagement. You will not find another game closer to the original X-com out there.
